Title: [Arcade] Pixel Grower
Post by: StraightFlame on December 23, 2009, 19:57:03
Description: Pixel Grower is about creating/designing your own tree. However, if you don't want to get a Game Over, you allow your design to screw up just a little. You will have to create your tree using falling Pixels. If you drop them, your tree will lose HP.
Special Pixels: Sometimes you will see special Pixels. They change shapes once they land on your tree. They also recover your tree's HP.
Cyan: Cross-shape
Magenta: Bigger Pixel
Yellow: Same shape you started with.
Screenshots: I cant use the img tag with images i created myself (since i don't know what code to insert), so i just post them as attachments.
My record: I currently got a tree with 1203 pixels and i got the rank of 'Dead Pixel'
Random suggestions on tree structure: I suggest increasing your tree's width, but you still have to realize that height is more important.

[mod]Changed button to play due to avatar changes. Its not wise to link to someone's avatar, as it could be changed, and then stops working.[/mod]

Thanks! I will remember that so i wont do it again in the future... Or atleast i TRY to remember...

25,697 pixels! I could've kept going but the fps was too low and the tree went right through the pixels.

I just can't do this. Eventually, the pixels start falling on either side of the screen at the same time, too fast for me to catch! I tried building sideways the levels before, by catching pixels on the sides so that the tree is bigger than the screen, but that method can only take you so far.
Tips?

You built a nice tree, Shawnachu! Amazing that you got THAT far while keeping a nice structure and DECREASING in width. And to Vinterrun, it maybe a greater accomplishment to get 959 pixels with the design you liked than 1203 WITHOUT it... I wish i could keep a great structure like you guys.

I got this score on my first try.
All you need to do is to swing the tree back and forth, and it will catch every pixel on the screen. There is no skill involved at all. 9_9
Meh.

Ey, just NOW i noticed that the lower part of his tree looks like the final level of... a certain Nintendo DS game, and that the other part looks like the final level of that DS game's sequel... Whoever guesses which one, gets... i unno.

I got to 34,294 pixels before my mouse got stuck on one of the buttons to the side.

By the way, how long does the game go?!?  :huh:

It's all based on luck, how fast you hand can move back and forth and how good your framerate is. Also...

Meh. Doesn't matter. Nobody is perfect. I mean, look at my signature! I was thankin Firecat for telling me how to get an avatar, and i said ''Thanks, StraightFlame''!

...anyways, how did you, y'know, made such a mistake? I thought it wasn't possible. You inserted the correct time, and the correct link, but the name...?

What's so special about 1,028?

Besides it being 4 off 210.
Title: Re: [Arcade] Pixel Grower
Post by: victor12 on January 03, 2010, 20:36:38
can YOU get to stage 5 with 1028 pixels?

I bet Razzorman did.
Title: Re: [Arcade] Pixel Grower
Post by: Shawnachu on January 03, 2010, 21:35:57
Do you mean it like "I have the lowest number of pixels possible on that stage?"
I got 813.

Or "I have the most on Stage 5?"
I have 2310.
Title: Re: [Arcade] Pixel Grower
Post by: StraightFlame on January 04, 2010, 08:06:50
Nice... But... yeah... even with the back and forth swinging, it would still take 3,153,600 minutes for me to even get past 50% of level 4.

Yeah, but you started building sideways at the end of level 4. When i see the structure of these trees, i kinda recognise how they built. Well, it may not be the end of level 4, but you started building sideways at least at SOME point.

If the pixels didn't start to fall everywhere on the screen, it would be much better.
